About this event
Evening Craft Sessions Slow down and spend an evening creating something beautiful with your hands in Mindful Making. Join us from 7–9pm for a relaxed creative escape. No experience needed. No pressure to create “perfect” art. Each week, we give old and forgotten items a fresh new life. Work with thrifted crockery, old clothing, pre-loved jewelry, beads, dried flowers, and other unique materials. Create something new each week. Make jewelry and bead collages. Decorate vessels and create mosaic china coasters. Design pressed-flower bookmarks, handmade gift tags, postcards, and stationery. You can also embellish keepsake boxes or make a special gift for someone you love. Enjoy chilled music and good company as you create. Bring a cup of something warm or a favorite drink. We’ll provide a table full of beautiful materials and plenty of inspiration. Upcycling gives old objects a second life. It also offers a mindful and sustainable way to create. Take a break from your busy schedule and enjoy some time for yourself. Whether you’re a complete beginner or simply want a fun creative night out, you’ll leave with a handmade keepsake and a refreshed mind. All materials and guidance are included. Just bring yourself and your creativity!
